Accessibility – 508 Support

If radio buttons are used with a label to the left, they have to be used in combination with the label control which points to the assigned radio button. This ensures, that screenreaders are aware of the relationship between the both elements and can read the correct label to the according radio button.

  • Keyboard: Radio buttons are inserted into the accessibility hierarchy by default.
  • Default Description: Is provided by the HTMLB rendering engine.
  • Application-specific Description: Set an additional description using the setTooltip method if needed.
  • Label: Has to be connected to a label control for left-hand labels (use method setLabelFor for identifying the corresponding radio button or radio button group).
